DVD
authoring describes the process of creating a DVD video that can
be played on a DVD player.
Strictly speaking, DVD authoring is a separate process from MPEG encoding,
but MPEG encoding is usually completed at the same time as Authoring
and is the last task in the process.
There are many DVD authoring applications available to help create
digital video discs. A top end DVD authoring software package is Scenarist
down to at the bottom end examples such as Nero.
Discus Group DVD authoring services give you a choice of three solutions
to meet your budget and creative requirements:
Plug and Play DVD Authoring - A Video stream is captured from
tape into an authoring suite. As indicated from the title, Menu's
are not required, the disc is to play on insertion and stop at the
end like a VHS tape would. There are no chapter points and this is
the simplest form of authoring which consists mainly of MPEG encoding.
This is almost the most cost effective DVD authoring package available.
Template Menu DVD Authoring - Again a video stream is captured
but is associated with one of our standard DVD template menus. When
all the chapters have been allocated the appropriate menu links, the
DVD is MPEG encoded. This is a cost effective solution for those looking
for a simple menu structure that lends itself to a template.
Bespoke DVD Authoring - With this option your creativity and
budget are the only limits. Multi Tiered menu's, animated backgrounds
with audio, Sub titling, games, web links are all offered under this
solution. The most difficult to quote for given the variety of options
to cater for. We recommend that clients who wish to opt for this route,
if they are capable of using Adobe Photoshop, either mock up or build
the desired menu's in Adobe Photoshop and supply to us for incorporation
in the project, thus saving cost and speeding up project build times.
